New York Evening Post: If the North wich election presages, as we have little doubt it does, the early return of MT. Gladstone to power, the last triumph of his great career will have been the greatest of all, exceeding in moral grandeur the victory he gained over Beaconsfield in the midst of the e-works of the Berlin con- ference. Tn the former contest he had an undivided party at his back, with Harhng- ton Chamberlain, Bright and Goschen as his aids aud lieutenants. Now, with di- vided party, with all these notable men against him, with the most distinguished liberal peers, like Westminster and Argyll, and practically the whole landed interest, on the other side, hezha again to all ap- pearances brought England to his way of thinking. He has done all this by virtue of an immense personalsuperiority, coupled of course with good cause-a superiority which no Eng fish statesman since Pitt has enjoyed, if even Pitts can be said to have equaled it.

of her neck that had almost severed her head
from her body, which had been done with an
ak that was found lying by her side A
young son of Mrs. Beall was in the house at
the time He said that the first he knew of
the affair was when he heard a shot fired in
the room, and when he went there lie
three short, heavy-set men, who rnn away.
There is great excitement in the neighbor
hood, AMI if the parties who did the deed are
discovered there will be another lynching.

DIDN'T HAVE THE SUGAR
AND CONSEQUENTLY THEIR COFFEE
WAS A BITTER DOSE.

A Trio of New York Coffee Cornerers Lay
Down with Oyer Million of Liabilities
Piled on Them-A Short History of Re-
cent Operations in the Fragrant Berry
The Raise in the Price.
NEW YORK, June a There was panic
in the coffee market Monday, cased by the
recent heavy fall in prices. Three prominent
houses were Obliged to suspend. They were
Arnold & Co, 81 Wall street. Norton, Weyl
IL BevsD, 100 Water street, and Mackey 81
Small, Front street, and Jones Lane B. g.
Arnold, of Arnold & Co., explained the cause
of his firms suspension as due to the fact that
his numerous clients in Europe and Rio
Janeiro could not be called upon in sufficient
haste to put up their margins. The firm does a
commission business entirely, and the i'm
mense size Of their outstanding orders made
it impossible for them to put up sufficient
sums to tide over the panic. The liabilities
and assets he is as yet unable to give Norton,
Weyl & Bevan state that their suspension
was due to the existing depression in prices,
augmented by the failure of other firms in
the trade. Mackey & Small are in the same
position. Coffee has fallen from % 40 cents
to 40 cents per pound, representing drop
of about 30 cents on the dollar. Nothing but
vast capital was able to withstand the call
created by such difference on firms having
large orders out on the wrong side of the
market. 1t is feared that other houses will
so down.
The liabilities of Arnold & Co are said to
lie about $50, 900, and of the other two firms
about 800, 90 together, Arnold & Co were
one of the largest house in the trade. B. G..
Arnold was the founder of the coffee ex-
change, and has been in business here since
1919 In 1880 the firm failed for 81, 250, 000,
but paid TO cents on the dollar. Joseph J.
o'Donohue & Son had the satisfaction Mon
day Of saving the market from a total ruin
by bidding in about 10000 bags at $50,
thus checking the panic and causing a recov-
cry by Us points. When the substantial
house of OlDonohue & Co began bidding a
great cheer went up in the exchange, for it
was considered both plucly and magnani-
NOUS on their part
b. q. Arnold's prominence in the present
crisis arises from the fact that he was recog-
nized as the representative of the Brazilian
syndicate which has had recent control of the
market. This syndicate is supposed to in
clude MeSsrs. Phipps & Co and G. Amsinck
&, Co, of New York and Rio, and Messrs
Berlocatrim 6 Co, John Bradshaw s. Co,
and others, of Rio.

WASHINGTON CRY, June 1.-THE board

be enoughfor man to be in prison once,
however he may conduct himself thereafter.
But such things will not hurt the company
In order not to prejudice the business of the
company called at once the directors to
